The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

Whatever your role in construction, CDM aims to improve health and safety in the industry by helping you to:

sensibly plan the work so the risks involved are managed from start to finish

have the right people for the right job at the right time

cooperate and coordinate your work with others

have the right information about the risks and how they are being managed

communicate this information effectively to those who need to know

consult and engage with workers about the risks and how they are being managed

HSE has published Legal Series guidance that supports CDM 2015 and explains it in more detail. HSE will seek views later in 2015 on whether to replace this guidance with an Approved Code of Practice, which many in the industry indicated they would prefer in the 2014 public consultation.
